Book of Shadows (BoS)
Runes Writing In Runes by SunnyWay
You can write your name or other words in the runes of the Elder Futhark by using the javascript
transliterator below.
Tips: Write phonetically, and skip doubled letters and silent letters.
Examples: "Chrissy" should be written
"KRISY".
"Cynthia" should be written "SYNTHIA"
"Ralph" should be written "RALF".
"Thomas" should be written "TOMAS", but "Thad" would be written
"THAD".
"Book" should be written "BOK".
"Write" and "Wright" should be written as "RIT".
CH, as in "Chuck", will appear as Kenaz Jera.
KJ is the closest approximation in Scandinavian languages.
EI will appear as Eihwaz.
J and Y will appear as Jera.
NG will appear as Ingwaz.
TH will appear as Thurisaz.
V will appear as the runic W because V and W are interchangeable in
Scandinavian languages.
The javascript does not insert spaces or
punctuation. Many of the ancient runestones were written in
continuous script with no spaces or punctuation, so you don't have to
do it. You may insert spaces if you wish. If you want punctuation,
insert one centered dot between words and two dots (like a colon)
between sentences.
Type a word or name into the form below
and hit the Translate button. The runic transliteration will appear

Often a Book of Shadows begins with a book blessing.
This poem is adapted from Silver Ravenwolf's "To Stir a Magick Cauldron"
reminds us of who we are and why we keep this book.
I will serve the Great Goddess
And give reverence to the Great God
I am a Pagan Witch
A stone in the ancient circle
Standing firmly
Balanced on the earth
Yet open to the winds of heaven
And enduring through time
May the old gods witness my words
Blessed be.
